When Rapacity and audacity outstrips prudence
No difference is or seen between moral and physical turpitude

Art. or The moment a test of vice and virtue is established grounded
on and fixt principles over upon calculation having for its
elements deduced for the greatest happiness pain and loss of pleasure produced by the act
in question – it will be seen that (not so peak of other
classes of functionaries) in England in the judicial departments which are the most vicious and
mischievous of depredators
malefactors – those
who are hanged for
depredation, or those
by those mandate
they are hanged: for in respect of mischievousness,
consideration had of
the quantity of suffering, the worst
depredator of those who are hanged are men of virtue, compared
with the best of those by whose mandate they were hanged quantity of
suffering produced by the aggregate of to maleficent aggregate effect
of the prudatory acts and habits and the impossibility of
all remedy of which punishment is the instrument: in
respect of vitiousness, degree of with which absence or presence of
that degree those degrees of indigence which the urgency of
which is universally regarded as constituting an extenuation
of depravity; and absence or presence of that
habit and degree of deliberation the presence of which is as universally
regarded as constituting an aggravation of
depravity.

and agency and to and for whose benefit the misery and vice
are produced are of the two classes the most mischievous
and the most vitious, whence is it that, while those
of whose mischievousness and vitiousness they are the
authors are would to the generality of the members of the community be objects of the objects of the most intense profound
contempt were it not for the intense horror of which they are
actually the objects, the sentiments with which the arch
depredators, of whose depredation the most determined and
all-pervading mendacity has been and continues to be a chief
instrument, are still
with be regarded objects those of
profound veneration
the intensity of which
has only of late years
begun to be in some degree abated.
